| mosquito species succession and physicochemical factors affecting their abundance in rice fields in mwea, kenya. | the succession of mosquito species and abiotic factors affecting their distribution and abundance in rice (oryza spp.) fields was investigated over a 16-wk rice growing cycle covering the period between january and may 2006. fifteen experimental rice plots were sampled for mosquito larvae and characterized based on rice height, number of tillers, floating vegetation cover, water depth, water temperature, turbidity, salinity, ph, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, and conductivity. microsc ... | 2007 | 17427706 |
| bionomics of malaria vectors and relationship with malaria transmission and epidemiology in three physiographic zones in the senegal river basin. | following the implementation of two dams in the senegal river, entomological and parasitological studies were conducted in three different ecological zones in the senegal river basin (the low valley of senegal river, the guiers lake area and the low valley of ferlo) every 3 month in june 2004, september 2004, december 2004 and march 2005. the objective of this work was to study the influence of environmental heterogeneities on vector bionomics and malaria epidemiology. mosquitoes were collected ... | 2008 | 18068685 |
| field study site selection, species abundance and monthly distribution of anopheline mosquitoes in the northern kruger national park, south africa. | knowledge of the ecology and behaviour of a target species is a prerequisite for the successful development of any vector control strategy. before the implementation of any strategy it is essential to have comprehensive information on the bionomics of species in the targeted area. the aims of this study were to conduct regular entomological surveillance and to determine the relative abundance of anopheline species in the northern kruger national park. in addition to this, the impact of weather c ... | 2014 | 24460920 |
| role of anopheles (cellia) rufipes (gough, 1910) and other local anophelines in human malaria transmission in the northern savannah of cameroon: a cross-sectional survey. | as part of a study to determine the impact of insecticide resistance on the effectiveness of long-lasting insecticide treated nets (llins) in the north of cameroon, the unexpectedly high density and anthropophilic behaviour of anopheles rufipes lead us to investigate this species bionomics and role in human malaria parasite transmission. | 2017 | 28077167 |
| circumsporozoite protein rates, blood-feeding pattern and frequency of knockdown resistance mutations in anopheles spp. in two ecological zones of mauritania. | mosquitoes belonging to anopheles gambiae species complex are the main malaria vector in mauritania but data on their vector capacities, feeding habits and insecticide susceptibility are still scanty. the objectives of this study were to fill this gap. | 2016 | 27151152 |
| malaria in three epidemiological strata in mauritania. | malaria epidemiology in mauritania has been characterized on the basis of epidemiological strata, defined by climatic and geographic features, which divide the country into three zones: sahelian zone, sahelo-saharan transition zone, and saharan zone. the association between geographic stratification and malaria transmission was assessed through a series of parasitological and entomological surveys. | 2016 | 27068219 |
| [agricultural activities and epidemiology of malaria in soudano-sahelian zone in cameroon]. | we have comparatively studied the dynamics of malaria transmission in the villages of mokolo-douvar located in the rural area with traditional agriculture and gounougou irrigated rice area, in 2004 august and november and 2006 may and october, to assess vectors biting habits, and malaria inoculation rate and malaria parasite prevalence in cohort of children from 0 to 15 years. mosquitoes were collected by landing catches on volunteers and by pyrethrum spray collections. a total of 5961 anopheles ... | 2012 | 22294407 |

| malaria transmission dynamics at a site in northern ghana proposed for testing malaria vaccines. | we studied the malaria transmission dynamics in kassena nankana district (knd), a site in northern ghana proposed for testing malaria vaccines. intensive mosquito sampling for 1 year using human landing catches in three micro-ecological sites (irrigated, lowland and rocky highland) yielded 18 228 mosquitoes. anopheles gambiae s.l. and anopheles funestus constituted 94.3% of the total collection with 76.8% captured from the irrigated communities. other species collected but in relatively few numb ... | 2004 | 14728621 |
| the importance of morphological identification of african anopheline mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) for malaria control programmes. | the correct identification of disease vectors is the first step towards implementing an effective control programme. traditionally, for malaria control, this was based on the morphological differences observed in the adults and larvae between different mosquito species. however, the discovery of species complexes meant that genetic tools were needed to separate the sibling species and today there are standard molecular techniques that are used to identify the two major malaria vector groups of m ... | 2018 | 29357873 |
